A sign on the wall at Wintzell’s Oyster House in downtown Mobile has promised free oysters to any man who turns 80 and walks in with his father. For decades, no one had claimed it — until now.
The article shows everything except a picture of the sign they keep referencing.
They didn’t “win” anything. It’s a standing offer via signage.
Pretty sad that this is the best thing Alabama can push as ‘news’.
They’re probably both still working too.
Pops is gonna get recalled for one last tour in Iran.
I’m in Alabama. Wintzell’s is great. The sign is real.
Please post a picture of the sign if you can, because the OP article omitted that one particular detail.
It’s not that close to me but I’m angling to go there for the assignment. I don’t get good oysters very often.
Great! And you’ll get bonus points if you’re 80 years old and your dad is still alive and you bring him with you.
